Wha? Still not as all-time wrong as Minipops, however.

that's pretty wrong... The problem with the necklace is not just the racially chargedness of the noose, but the fact that noose imagery has had _quite_ the renaissance in racial attacks this year in the US. So in light of that, someone needs to whack Disney one about this.

Didn't know that. :( Stoopid racist tiny-dicked asstarts.
Even not knowing that, it's still in amazingly bad taste. What exactly are they trying to convey here by having this necklace? Hooray for hanging? Never again the hanging times? My ancestors were hanged and all I got was this lousy necklace? Eeet makes *no* sawnse.

off topic... that particular episode of MST3K where Dr. Forester says that to TV's Frank is rather dear to my heart.

Tor!

It's *awful*! It's hard for me to watch Beast of Yucca Flats for the same reason it's hard to watch Manos...it draaaaaaags. aa, aa, aaaags. But good riffs, aye.

...you didn't know about the renaissance in nooses? they've been in the news.

[austingoddess.livejournal.com]

I don't watch the news, or anything else, on TV. They make shit up just to get people to watch. Srsly.
I do read what's going on in Yahoo news and similar, and I hadn't seen anything about this recently, no. :(

ah. well here's the noose map from divinc

may i suggest alternet or huffington post? yahoo news is, imo, WORSE than fox. i really dislike it, because i feel like they take already dumbed down issues, and make them even lamer.

[peacockdress.livejournal.com]

Oh right, I get it now. Sorry.

WHAT THE FUCK

[retsuko.livejournal.com]

What were they thinking?

[transversely.livejournal.com]

so. wrong.
can't. deal.

I believe that it's high time for the bandit-and-cattle-rustler community to take the noose back, like the pink triangle.

The description lead me to believe they were going for a pirate theme with this. See, they're not racist! They just really support the execution of 19th century privateers! And really, who's not on board with that?

Obviously, they didn't bother to ask somebody before they proceeded. ::sigh:: No love for you Disney, no love!!
